PAMELA WILSON
Pamela Wilson, Birds Of a Dream Disorder, oil on canvas, 20 x 16
“I always want the viewer to have an experience. I want to make them unsure, and yet I want to soothe them. I want them to strap on their wings and come with me on a journey. I want them to open their minds, bring their story, and let their imagination flow freely.� Pamela Wilson 3

FRANCIS DI FRONZO
Francis Di Fronzo, The Gate Part 6 oil, gouache + watercolor on panel, 24 x 49
“These are the bones of the earth, and there is a sense of eternity in these spaces. I like that idea that the world goes on forever but just vanishes into this mist. The imagination isn’t going any further as you’ve reached the end of the landscape in my mind.” Francis Di Fronzo 5
Francis Di Fronzo, Razed, part 1 oil over gouache + watercolor on panel, 17 x 51

SERGIO GARVAL
Sergio Garval, Eva, oil on linen, 23.5 x 20
“The characters in my work participate in different contexts that link themselves in a one-act, sometimes repetitive action. This happening, circumstances and situations evolve into ritual statements by themselves.� Sergio Garval 7

LYNN BOGGESS
Lynn Boggess, 05 March 2013, oil on canvas, 54 x 45.5
“Taking to the open” in, quite literally all kinds of weather, Boggess paints his subject as he stands in its midst. If the snow seems to fly across the picture plane, it is because Boggess stood there, working against time and the elements. When viewers say to him, “I feel as if I really am in the picture,” it is surely because Boggess was there when he painted it.

ALICE LEORA BRIGGS
Alice Leora Briggs, Trephining Sgraffito drawing in India ink on kaolin clay on cradled wood panel, 11 x 14
While Briggs subject matter is sometimes uncomfortable, her work has a dark beauty and an immediacy not often seen in contemporary art. Its visual strength and documentary quality compels you to keep looking and inspires you to learn more about the tragic situation that she chronicles. 11

LOUISA MCELWAIN 1953 - 2013
Louisa McElwain, Cumulous Song , oil on canvas, 42 x 54
Louisa once said “I never want to forget that what I am looking at is paint on canvas.” Paint on canvas is inescapable in her dramatic paintings of the landscape of Northern New Mexico. Broad strokes of color applied with masonry trowels capture the energy of the landscape in frozen moments. Her “joyous exploration of the sensual potential of oil paint” resulted in a unique style that captured her relationship to the landscape. 13

SEAN CHEETHAM
Sean Cheetham, Gretchen, oil on panel, 10 x 8
While portrait painter Sean Cheetham’s work harks back to past traditions in realist painting, particularly work by artists like John Singer Sargent, and even further back to the golden age of Dutch painting, his subjects are clearly contemporary. 15
Sean Cheetham, Snow-White Tan , oil on panel, 10 x 8

GARY WEISMAN
Gary Weisman, Unasking Whisper, bronze, (life size) 38h x 64w x 24d
In Weisman’s sculpture, his intense search for contemporary content seems to continually involve a retrieval of the past. Being figurative, his work confronts the preeminent motif of all historical sculpture. His figures reflect the influence of the canons of Greek design, the romance of the Renaissance and, later, Rodin, as well as the universal sculptural language of Brancusi or Egyptian stelae. Most of all, Weisman’s work continues the timeless preoccupation we have with ourselves, our bodies, and the human condition. In it, he extrapolates the drama that our bodies and beings create, and inspires in the viewer a sense of awe for the heroics we can mentally construct, or physically perform. 19
Gary Weisman, Accomplished, bronze, 33h x 16w x 9.5d
Gary Weisman, Bearer, bronze, 28.75hx 16.5w x 7d

JORGE SANTOS
Jorge Santos, Hunters, oil + acrylic on canvas, 68 x 85
“I want the viewer to find pleasure in the mystery and intrigue of the settings. Most importantly, however, I want to offer them thought-provoking pieces. The kind of work that the instant the collectors see it, they can’t stop thinking about it, about how it relates to them, about how it relates to the world around them.” Jorge Santos 21
Jorge Santos, Fish Tales, oil + acrylic on canvas, 48 x 48
Jorge Santos, Idol, graphite on board, 10 x 8

LISA GROSSMAN
Lisa Grossman, Monsoon Season, oil on canvas, 20 x 22
“For nearly twenty years my prairie work, primarily plein air, has been a sustained meditation on open spaces. The power of this place, and my visceral responses to weather and shifts in light, color, and seasons, have been the true subjects of my work. My work has always been about shifts and the ephemeral. I’m not so much trying to freeze moments in time as much as I am attempting to convey my experience of them. My wish is to share some of what I’ve discovered, offering a new way a seeing these waterways and open prairie spaces that hopefully, ultimately, awakens a new appreciation for them.” Lisa Grossman 23
Lisa Grossman, Bitterroot Peaks, oil on canvas, 9 x 12
Lisa Grossman, Bitterroot Peaks II, oil on canvas, 9 x 9
Lisa Grossman, Reflect, oil on canvas, 36 x 72

KENT WILLIAMS
Kent Williams, The Mayan, oil on linen, 28 x 22
“Arriving at an uncanny equipose, his current paintings and drawings interweave the transitive states of dream and waking made in a heady mix of representational precision and breathlessly animated abstract gestures. Pure and simple, whether manifest as delicately jostled or fluently robust, Williams’ revered strain of para-objective mark-making stages some of the most seductive narrative and formal play generated by any artist at work today.” Alex Ross 25
Kent Williams, Form, mixed media on paper, 20 x 14
Kent Williams, Lord Of The Flies (2), mixed media on paper, 17 x 14
Kent Williams, Lord Of The Flies (7), mixed media on paper, 21 x 18

DAVID SIMON
David SImon, The Rower, bronze, edition of six, 37 x 17 x 16
Renowned American sculptor, David Simon creates provocative figurative sculptures that are often irresistibly alluring and hauntingly dark. Much of Simon’s current work focuses on a collection of sculptures based on the contemporary play The Black Rider: The Casting of the Magic Bullets, written by music legend Tom Waits. 27
